    Certainly not here in the US.  There are gardening shows, but no where on the scale of Chelsea.  Seattle does one with show gardens covering an acre of land.. and Philly has a huge indoor flower show.. but nothing compares.
    Utah, USA.

    The equivalent of the Chelsea Flower Show in France is The International Garden Festival at the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire but its scale and popularity cannot be compared to Chelsea... It last for about 6 months but does not get any TV coverage (I think...) 
    The French are however very found of Floralies (horticultural expositions) and every year thousands of them are organised throughout the country. They usually are dedicated to a certain theme or certain type of plants. Some of them bigger than other but again nothing near the size of Chelsea.

    None as far as I am aware in Spain, either. @aureliecelerier are there any around Perpignan/south east coast of France that you know of?
